编辑｜张倩 给 OpenAI 充值这么久，终于可以见到回头钱了？ 刚刚，OpenAI 上线了一项新的福利 —— 符合条件的 ChatGPT Pro 和 Business 订阅用户，现在可以领取每月最高 500 美元的免费 API 额度 ，而且这不是一次性的新用户优惠，只要订阅和福利政策持续有效，每个计费周期都可以自动获得。 那么，具体怎么领，谁能领，我们一起来看。 每月最多送 500 美元，具体怎么领？ 先说最重要的：这次福利覆盖的是 ChatGPT Pro 和符合条件的 Business 用户，而且订阅必须已经生效至少 7 天。月活最高的 Plus 用户、Go、免费版、试用期、Enterprise、Edu 和老版 Codex 席位全部不在名单里。 根据 OpenAI 官方帮助中心和开发者文档，具体的额度如下： Pro 这边很好理解： 你交多少，返多少 。换句话说，一个每月本来就要花 100 美元以上调 API 的开发者，现在 Pro 订阅相当于「白送」。 Business 是「按人头凑份子，但有封顶」：每个 Standard 席位往团队池子里加 20 美元，每个 Premium 席位加 100 美元，但整个工作区每月上限 500 美元。官方还给了例子：5 个 Standard + 3 个 Premium，池子是 100+300=400 美元；10 个 Standard + 4 个 Premium，算出来 600，但只能拿 500。也就是说 25 个 Standard 席位或 5 个 Premium 席位就把池子填满了，再加人不加钱。年付的 Business 工作区则是一次性发放全年额度，上限 6000 美元。 这些额度能买什么？大家可以参照这个表算一下： 这里还有一个容易被忽略的细节：首次领取的金额可能低于完整的月度额度。原因是 OpenAI 会根据当前订阅周期的剩余时间按比例计算，而不是无论哪天领取，都直接发放一个完整月份的额度。 那么，具体怎么操作？符合条件的用户可以进入 ChatGPT 账单设置，找到 API credits 相关福利，选择自己拥有的 API Organization（API 组织），完成关联并确认领取。也可以从 OpenAI API 账单页面发起关联。 能领，但用起来有限制 对于真正使用 API 的开发者来说，这次福利覆盖的范围不算窄。 根
